She smiles to keep in the pain,

But no one notices how the smile

doesn't reach her eyes

Nobody notices how the smile is

painted on, her mask

No one sees the black streaks

on her pillow

No one sees her tears every night

All anyone sees is her painted mask

No one sees the truth

No one sees her
